I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Semarang Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,100. My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home. We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $1,100 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $1,000 • Fitting and training sessions: $40 • Delivery and set-up: $20 • First-year servicing plan: $40 Thank you for reading my story.
